84 Human Diamonds ( First 84 Vaishnavas created by Guru Shri Mahaprabhuji)

 

1 Damalaji

The youngest of three full of light

longing to see guru- not eating even- just wanting to serve

Meets Mahaprabhuji

witnesses the start of holy words "Brahmasambandh"

Teacher to Mahaprabhujis son

and also dreamt that the son was the the father the god

2 Krishnadas Meaghan

Pure, peaceful, he worshipped his gurus

First one directed him to the Krishna form Mahaprabhuji

He sought never to lose knowledge

speak pure words

and Mahaprabhuji to visit his first Guru

Third wish was never granted as first Guru was not ready

He sought Mahaprabhuji's feet rather than a vision of God

We learn from his humble nature

3 Damodardas

A copper box with secret messages led him

to Mahaprabhuji

who taught him the delicacies

of service

He served sincerely;y 

his wife was not devout

he wasn't consistent

at times

all his faults were eventually accepted

His wealth disappeared in the Yamuna river

because tainted by greedy son

He built a winter temple and a summer temple

and their maid benefited from this association

4 Padmandas

He searched, he read and then obeyed Shri Mahaprabhuji

He was shown Shri Krishna

His whole family served

He helped the poor, the unhealthy, the lower castes

His children married Vaishnavas

On Shri Mahaprabhuji's direction, he also gave up reading holy books for money and started collecting wood

At times could only serve chickpeas- they were relished by Shri Mathureshji the Shree Krishna form handed to him by Shree

5 RAJO

She loved Mahapraphuji

and served him well

Once, he requested butter for a worldly task

She refused; he was upset

She said that all her devotion was for him and Shree Krishna

She would not give butter for any reason

showing determination

That day, Shree Mahaprabhuji ate twice, breaking his own rules

and applauding Rajo

6 SETH PURSHOTTAMDAS

Rich but recognised the beauty of Shri Mahaprabhuji

Discovered Madan Mohanji while building a temple

He and his family were offered precious jewels, holy rivers

But they claimed to only have time for Shree Krishna

The local king and sages also saw how Shree Purshottamdas shone

forever young, healthy and protected

7 Ramdas

Soft-hearted as a child

found a Krishna idol in the sand at Ganga Sagar

Mahaprabhuji already knew of it

Over time, he learned not to worry Shree Krishna

and worked a simple job

Getting really dirty in completing his duties never worried him

His wife wished for a son

when she imagined herself as Ma Yashoda

her wish was granted

8 Gadhadhardas

He kept his belief when he had nothing

He took money from a trader who wanted an ox

Always used all money in devotional service

When trader wanted an Ox

he pointed to all the devotees

An ox represents justice and righteousness

which they all held

The trader became a devotee

the magic of good association

9 Mathodas and Benidas

Mathodas kept his attachments

Mahaparbhuji understood and let him be

The wife he did not get on with became

Gusajis devotee and was allowed to do whatever she liked in devotional service

Mathodas worked very hard to buy a necklace for Navnitpriyaji- he already had many but this is an expression of love

10 Harivams

Loved a demi god so did not go meet Mahaprabhuji

In his dream the demi god was unhappy and told him that he missed seeing god

He was initiated.

And also told that demi gods have one good virtue

Shree Krishna has them all

He also teaches us to keep our spiritual experiences to ourselves- not to share with even loved ones

11 Govidadasji

He was not sure his wife would like his spiritual inclinations

Mahaparbhuji gave a great solution of splitting his wealth

He, however, got stubborn with his service and would not listen to Guru

Had a terrible death

12 Amma

A poor woman with two sons

Had Shree Krishna in her dream

who alerted her to the arrival of Shree Mahaprabhuji

who gave her an idol

She could see her sons really playing with Shree Krishna

But then lost her oldest

She was comforted by Shree Mahaprabhuji

Next time, he asked to see Shree Krishna

who was busy drinking milk

Guru ji wanted some of it sent to his camp

13 14 Gajjan And Piyadas

One was a rich boy who lost his family in a drowning accident; the other a policeman who accepted bribes but got very sick

Both sat on the banks of the Yamuna. Sad

Mahaprabhuji gave one Navnit Priyaji and the other Shree Ladaleshji

The love they developed was to behold*

Even Shree Krishna would not eat without their attention

He loved to ride on the back of one of them

15 Mahavan A Strong woman

Shree Gokul Chandra Maji

Shree Ladaleshji

Shree Lalitatribhangji

Shree Navnitpriyaji

These appeared to a woman who worshipped Shri Mahaprabhuji's feet

in the form of footprints

She had married but lost her family, as she knew she was going to 

16 Narayandas

Shree Gokulchandmaji

was his

after desperately searching everywhere

Thakorji used to talk to him

"If you make a Vaishnava happy, you make Shree Krishna happy" 

17 Devkapur

He saw Shree Krishna sitting among devotees at his neighbour's house. He fainted

Shree Mahaprubhuji gave him Shree Lalitabhangji to worship.

Then his wife worshipped and, on her death, disappeared

and reappeared in another devotee's house

MAGICAL 

18 Dinkardas

Mahaprahuji waited for him before starting his lecture

He sometimes rushed there, eating raw dough at times

From a wealthy family, his first gifts were to any passing sages. 

19 Dinkardas and Mukund das

Brothers - one was bitten by a snake and cured by Shri Mahaprabhuji's devotee, Krishna Meaghan

Given mantra to which they offered prasad

Mukund das became a poet and could talk about one line in the Bhagavat for 6 months

Other Brahmin scholars were astonished

20 Prabhudas ji

Tortured by his wife who he had married young

He was guided to Mahaprabhuji. His companion was guided to Shree Gopinathji

Vaishnavas never think of themselves so thin

Prabhudasji granted liberation to a milkmaid who gave him curd

If she had asked for devotion, he could have granted that too

Devotion is beautiful

21 Prabhudas

A poet's son - he could not recite while his father was alive

After being insulted by a king, he met Shri Mahaprabhuji and blossomed

After his death, the mayor who criticised Prabhudas was beaten by the angels of Vishnu

22 Purshottamdas and his wife

Followed the path even when their mothers did not approve. Because they became devotees, the whole family was blessed

Their devotion and gentle nature, treating Guru like god shines in our hearts

23 Tripurdas

Saw the truth at Govardhana Hill and refused to leave. He could get fever from the separation

His father died, and he said," Now all I have to do is serve Shree Krishna"

Shri Nathji loved him

He personally asked for a shawl from Tripudas. Even delivered food for him

 24 Puranmal

Rich- lived separately as his wife was not spiritual

Had a dream that Shrinathji wanted a temple at Jatipura

In the design, a dome kept appearing

Mahaprabhuji approved

Money ran out, and Puranmal had to work- Shrinathji preferred this anyway

Puranmal got a chance to apply sandalwood paste to Shree Nathji

25 Yadavendradas

A simple potter's son was transformed by eating offerings

Then in the service of Shri Gusaiji- organising and setting up tents 

The guru said, " Be great to have a temple here", and Yada worked all night astonishingly and in a month, Shre Navinitpriyaji was there in the temple

Built a well, had sour water- then prayed so hard that the Holy river Ganga changed the water

26 Gusaindasji

Devout - kind- and went on a 10-year journey to find meaning

Shri Mahaprabhuji gave him a swaroop

Another Brahmin loved the swaroop too and awaited his deity

Meanwhile, Gusaindasji was told in a dream that he should go to Badrikashram, where he would leave his body. This happened, and the swaroop went to the brahmin

27  Madhava Bhatt

He had divine listening; he wrote the Subodhini, which was spoken by Shree Mahaprabhuji.

His previous teacher was arrogant- he helped revive a dead boy. But he did not want fame

In a previous life, he forgot to remove a thorn from a flower offering, so sadly his death occurred from an arrow

28 29 Gopaldas and Padmaraval

Gopaldas was from a wealthy soldier family

For his haircut, he travelled to a river and walked until he found a place where the pollution was least.

Shree Mahaprabhuji poured water on him, and his spiritual longing arose

Returning home, he opened a free guesthouse

Padmaraval, one of the guests, was directed to Shree Mahaprabhuji, and he gained all wisdom by just tasting the sandalwood paste from Shree Mahaprabhuji's feet. Mavaji and his wife Birajo accompanied him, and they saw many revelations

30 Purshottamdas Joshi

Teaches us that neither the Vedas nor just good actions will help at present

Best is to serve your little Shri Krishna and surround yourself with his stories

Keep it to yourself until you are ready and sure to share with others

You will also meet the right people on this path

31 Mrs Josi Jagganth and Narhari

Mrs Josi lost her husband, a robber, in 5 years, as predicted by Shree Mahaprabhuji

The boys were also drawn to Shree Krishna, and they got their proof when Shree Mahaprabhuji was seen in the temple and in front of them at the same time

They saved a fellow devotee from a fire by placing a tulsi leaf on the ground and surrounding it with water

They were blessed- the Lord complained to them of an upset stomach- hot rice pudding, which from then on is served cool. Lucky conversations

32 Rana Vyas Sanchora

Started pilgrimages to holy place aged 8 but did not find peace. Felt he was wise but kept on losing arguments

Tried to commit suicide but was halted by overhearing Sri Mahaprabhuji talking of what happens if the step is taken. Accepted only with the Lord in heart

Chaturshloki changed him- devotion and faith arose

He was nearly framed for adultery, but a fellow Vaishnava vouched for him by also passing the test set by the king(holding a hot wheel)

He also managed to save someone resigned to do Sati burn herself after her husband had passed 

She too became a great devotee of Shree Krishna

33 Ramdas Sanchora

Pure hearted went on holy search when he witnessed a cow dying

Met Shree Mahaprabhuji. He was totally devoted. He made many sacrifices for his Guru. He was given a deity, and on the Guru's request, returned home. He reunited with his abandoned wife, who was happy to return to him. He initiated her, and they spent their life in devotion

34 Govind Dube

Left his parents aged 14. His parents worried, but he replied, " I could be gone before you"

Met Shree Mahaprabhuji, who taught him the Gita and the Shree Bhagavat in a day

Govind knew he had met god

Once he and others did not get prasad, he may have interrupted the Guru, or it was the way it was meant to be 

He was guided to the Navratna, and his heart was now at peace

He also, for a while, followed another Guru, but by Shree Mahaprabhuji's light came back to the source. We all get lost- be careful

35 Raja and Madhu Dube

They took their old parents to see Dwarka on a palanquin.

There they met Shree Mahaprabhuji, who taught them of Nirodha, the constant feeling of love for Shri Krishna. No anger or greed

A village neighbour was hassled and came to them. Just by teaching him a few verses, he became a renowned orator. His brother followed too. How small influences reach out

36 Uttamshlokadas Ishvara Dube

One was called Ma in love

Ishvara also got known as Uttamshlokadas

They were brahmins but had to work in poor circumstances

Indirectly Shri Mahaprabhuji influenced them- they gave up their jobs and were instructed to go to Govardhana. Their parents delayed them

Uttamshlokadas left secretly and cooked on Govardhana Hill

Ishvar joined him after parents' death, and Uttamdas too passed

Ishvar took his name and was loved

Shree Mahprabhuji asked him to request a boon

 His ask was "Let Guru never get upset with me"

This will keep his mind steady, a profound wish

38 Vasudevadas

 A strong, proud man of pride but could not defeat a devotee - the incident bringing him near Shree Mahaprabhuji

He was blessed with Bravery Wisdom Wealth No Pride Leadership Self Control

He sometimes hid valuables in a deity to transport for Guru

Would not get invited to parties as ate too much

If transporting for Gurus service OK to use deity but never for personal gain

He was devout and worth 100s of folk so he was so valuable for blessings- better to invite him`

39 Baba Venu, Krishnadas, Yadavadas

Dream of a goddess- they found her and installed her in a temple

Shree Mahaprabhuji found that the goddess was actually Shri Krishna

This unfolding brought the three friends to Shri Nathji

One conducted his own last rites

40 Jaganath

A kind, wise man who earned a living by reciting Shrimad Bhagwad

Shree Mahaprabhuji came and sat in the audience

Gently, seats were swapped, and Shree Mahaprabhuji explained one verse for 3 months

Jaganath stopped pouring water over his deity. Followed proper seva

Shree Mahaprabhuji said he should not charge to recite the Bhagwad. He can charge for other books like the Mahabharat

41 Anandas And Vishrambhavdas

Two brothers- quiet

Roll in sand in new clothes and then give to saints

When asked to marry, they ran seeking spiritual success

Nearly lost their lives and Shree Mahaprabhuji rescued them

They returned home as encouraged not to become renunciates, as that brings pride

Be like Gopis, they were advised- be spiritual within your work, life, play

One night one brother fell asleep but the other kept on hearing Uh Huh

while reading

That was Shree Krishna

42 A Brahmin Lady from Adel

Poor, clumsy, simple and full of love

Her friends and neighbours complained to Shree Mahaprabhuji

His reply: " Love is the most important"

A brahmin - was entranced by Shri Mahaprabhuji. But his father would not follow

Shree Mahaprabhuji gave him power to make words true

He healed his father's burnt hands- Father still arrogant

He then made his father blind

His father sought refuge of Shree Mahaprabhuji

Ramdas later befriended Mira Bai, who said he should not sing praises to Shri Mahaprabhuji

He left and understood not to show his love publicly

48 Ramdas Chauhan

Just 12 years old but refused to bow to the king

He was captured by the King- The Queen urged him not to be so violent

The King went on, and thus bad luck arose

The King was killed, and Ramdas ended up living in a cave on Govardhana Hill

Shree Mahaprabhuji blessed him

49 Ramanand Pundit

Educated, tried to beat Shri Mahaprabhuji in a debate. He could not even when he worshipped Shree Saraswatiji

She told him that Shree Mahaprabhuji was god

He criticised some Vaishnavas and Shree Mahaprabhuji renounced him

He, however, offered all that he ate to Shri Nathji who was found eating pundits sweets

"You may renounce him but I cannot ever, as he is mine"

Shree Mahaprabhuji said he would accept him after 100,000 births. But also helped him pass these in one night

A blind poet- he was elevated to sing for Shrinathji
